This is my problem:
I want to have "Password: " before my input... for example:
Password: _
_=cursor.
for my code:
cout<<"Password: ";
for(i=0;i<16;i++)
{
temp=getch();
if(temp == '\r')
break;
else
{
pword[i]=temp;
putch('*');
}
}
i would think that this would work, but... i get this instead:
"_(password input)Password:"
so Password: is displayed after i input it not before. So is there some sort of precedence that im missing and how can i fix it? Any ideas and or help is appreciated.

do it like this.
cout << "Password:" << flush;
or
cout << "Password:";
cout.flush();
no-one:
thanks for your help can you do me a favor and explain what that does? i dont mean anything negative but i would like to learn it instead of memorize it. thank you

well i'll try.
What flush does basically is force whatevers in the stream to print immediatly instead of waiting for whatever it waits for.
does that help or just confuse you more?
feel free to ask if i can answer it i will.
yes that helps thank you, thats what i thought it did but i just wanted to make sure. thanks again
